Head of the Chechnya administration Ahmad Kadyrov expressed his strongest approval of the actions of the Russian leadership. In his words, "the world has no examples of special operations held so competently and effectively as the recent hostage release operation in Moscow." ..."The terrorists have made the grossest mistake. They expected to slap Russia in the face; however, on the contrary, the authority of the country on the international scene has increased many times. Russia demonstrated that it was resolute in its struggle against terrorism, and neither the president, nor the government will give this hard line up," Ahmad Kadyrov says.

To paraphrase, "They counted on Russia to be passive. They counted wrong."

"We started the storm at 5:00 a.m. Sleeping gas was let into the theatre hall through the ventilation, several grenades were fired right in the hall. We managed to liquidate the female kamikaze: soldiers penetrated into the hall through special crawlways and shot the sleeping terrorists point-blank. Right at the temple. I agree that it's cruel, but when you see a man with two kilograms of plastid strapped to the body, there is no other way to neutralize him."

Excellent. A shame so many hostages died, but they were right on the money with the proper way to deal with terrorists - liquidate and shoot the sleeping ones. No trials, no martyers in the courts or in jail. Dead and buried.

And from another story on the site:

"Terrorists seized during the storming are currently being interrogated at the Prosecutor's Office"

That date raping snuff video ought to catch a pretty penny on the depraved circuit. Point blank to the temple of gassed out terrorists. Sweet-farking-jebbus. Normally I would cry foul but these people asked for it 1 million times over. Just get with th program, accept Russian rule and get over it. Da Ruski aint giving up to no head chopping jihadists. Especially since their rich Uncle Osama is crying a river in his last will and testament. I think I'll have a Grey Goose and tonic in appreciation of the hard nosed Russian action.

What the Russians did was quite impressive, but imagine the same senario playing in the US. If we had done the same thing, most likely all hell would have been let loose since all possible negotiatoins woulnd't have been tried (at least some people would think so).90 died, terrorists shot while asleep, knowing the good ol people of the US, lawsuits would have sprung up everywhere. Cruelty and what not.Most importanlty tho, if this had happend in the US, our special forces would have probably messed up somewhere.... in which case many more people would have died.I'm all for what the Russians did, but if that happend in the US, people wouldn't take it as lightly.

WTF? Where is everyone getting their news? This operation is a failure in my opinion. over 100 hostages died due to the gas they used! Only one or two were found to have died from gunshots wounds from the chechnyans. What an absolute farkup!
